Drac and Lizzie goes to the Prom
"SOOOOO! 'Young' Drac, we have both - again - graduated high school in Transylvania, Romania in 1666. Oops! I mean 2066. Well, actually, the year doesn't really matter much.

Guardian Angels
Akarisa stared up at the night sky, her arms tucked behind her head as she listened to the soft music drifting from the band’s practice room. She took in a deep breath, letting it out in a slow exhale, savoring the taste of the fall air on her tongue. Her eyes drifted closed as she tried to remember what fall in the sunlight had been like, before the Betrayal. Before her people, the Ayniel, guardian “angels” of humanity, had been forced into hiding.

Everyone Thought I Was Strong — Here’s What They Didn’t See
Everyone Thought I Was Strong. They said it was a fact, not an opinion. As if strength was something visible, measurable — something you could verify by looking at me. I kept a job. I showed up on time. I laughed at jokes. I listened when people talked. I didn’t stand out in public.

My Husband Died Twice—Once in the Hospital, Once in Our Bedroom
The first time my husband died, there were machines all around him. They spoke softly, rhythmically, as if they were trying to convince everyone in the room that life was still going on. The doctor spoke in careful sentences, the nurses avoided my eyes, and I stood there holding his hand, waiting for something to change.

The Lone Mouse
A lone mouse scurries through a vast, desolate desert landscape under an awakening twilight sky. The sand dunes are sculpted by wind into abstract, flowing forms. In the distance, the silhouette of a broken, geometric structure hints at an ancient civilization. There is a dramatic contrast of chiaroscuro lighting, emphasizing deep shadows and stark highlights... a highly detailed concept art style.
